A Deserted Village.

The best example of a deserted Will
age at present known ON the Pacific
coast is Houston, Idaho. Three years
ago it contained over five hundred in
habitants; now there are, all told. nine
persons in the place. The town has a
fresh and bright look. There is a
handsome hotel on the main street; a
big smelter is seen; there is large
brewery. and all along the principal
street stand neat stores. with fresh
looking signs; but the people are gone.
and all is silent. A newspaper outfit
was collapsed before paper was is
sued, and the owners of the material
seem to have never since had money
enough to pay the freight out. The
town sprung up on the strength of a
big copper prospect; the copper "pe-
tered" and the people skedaddled,
many of them leaving behind furniture
and all else except clothing and some
light and valuable goods. Virginia.

This is the way one good farmer
got permanent supply of pure water:
He laid about one thousand feet of tile
for draining wet piece of land on
top of a hill thirty or forty rods dis

water was so permanent that he set
cask to receive the water at the outlet
of the tile, and with lead pipe con-
nected it with his yard. 1.-The Farmer

WATER IN THE PASTURE.
A Question That Does Not Receive Enough
Attention Among Farmers.

Question That Does Not Receive Enough
Attention Among Farmers.
There is nothing like having plenty
of water right in the pasture. The
truth of the matter is, that stock
seldom get all the water they need I'M
less it is found in the pasture. We
may fiatter ourselves that we give the
animals good chance by taking them
to water twice in twenty -four hours,
(and but few wafer oftener than that
but in the dry, hot weather of midsum-
mer. is not frequent enough. 1t is not
good for animals to drink so much as
will be needed to carry them through
such long periods of time. Moderate,
frequent drinking is as much the neces-
sity to the well-beiag of animals
in hot weather rs it is to men
But both may be accustomed
to long periods of abstinence,
but manifestly to their disadvantage.
With the milch cows plenty of water
at frequent intervals, is an important
necessity, ii we would keep up the
flow of milk. The mich COW can mot
do her best when she is obliged to go
twelve long hours on hot summer
day without water.
Natural running water is a very fine
thing in the pasture, but as it is COM
paratively few that can have it, we
need hardly take it into consideration.
1t would be good thing, though. for
farmers to observe just how often ami
mails go to drink in dry, hot weather
when they have access to such water,
and then consider whether once in
twelve hours is frequent enough for
watering at such times. Seldom two
hours elapse in hot, dry weather. with
out the cattle coming down to the
waters edge and drinking lightly.
1t may not always be practicable to
have the well in the pasture. The
pasture is not always permanent in
stitution, but is liable to rotation with
the other fields of the farm. For this
reason and others it may not always be
advisable to have the well in the past
ure.
Upon most farms there is drive
way OF lane leading back through the
farm or along one side, from which the
pasture usually opens. Too often the
gates are shut and the animals con-
fined to the pasture until such time in
the day as it suits the attendants to let
them up to the barn to drink. And it
will be noted that the animals so con-
fined sometimes stand about these
gates lowing and looking up the way
to the water supply, for hours at a
time.
Now this way should be open to them
at all hours. Keep a supply of water
always in the trough at all times, and
let them come and drink when they
please; and notice. too, how many
times a day they will drink-more
than twice. will venture TO say, In
in the coming of twenty-four hours.
The windmill pump is grand in
stitution on the farm. It usually in
sures plentiful supply of water,
when otherwise the poor animals would
be stinted to save hard hand labor.
The question of water supply for the
pasture, is one that does not receive
sufficient attention among farmers. /

A MATHEMATICAL WASP.
How It Succeeded in Disposing of o Large
White-Bodied Spider.

How It Succeeded in Disposing of q Large
White-Bodied Spider.
While sitting one summer day at the
side OF the house on q platform which
served as plaza, but was rooted only by
the branches of two large trees, something
dropped upon my head and rolled into my
lap, when saw large white bodied spi-
der in the clutches of small wasp, writes
correspondent of the Oaol. Hastily
brushing these unceremonious visitors on
to the floor, I watched to see if the wasp
would succeed in flying away with his
huge enemy.
and the wasp ran around ssizing first one
part, then another, but finally went away,
as supposed, for help. In about a quart
er of an hour he returned, still alone, and
began trying again, as I thought, to find
some place by which he could seize the
round body and carry it away. Again he
departed without his spider.
This time watched him and saw him
disappear at the edge Of the lawn under q
pear tree, and, following, found him, after
some searching, diligently at work with
another wasp charging a hole in the
ground, having already thrown out quite
little mound of earth.
I returned to the piazza, and soon, when
the wasp came back, was convinced, by
more careful watching, that he was meas
uring each part Of the spiders body in
stead of trying to get hold of it. The an
tenne seemed to be the organs mostly en-
ployed in this operation. Whom he went
home again I was before him, and saw
him meet his co-worker, put his head close
to his, and evidently inform him that the
doorway was not yet big enough, for they
fell busily at work charging it.
Then more measuring. more digging,
until after three long hours he returned,
this time with his friend, and they carried
away their prey and bestowed it in their
underground home.
